To some extent yes, but do you by any chance use an exchange with an on-chain withdrawal feature? What if that was made illegal?

I’m skeptical as most when it comes to politicians and their promises pre election. But seriously, come on guys. Orange man has just stood up and put his cock on the block and told the world what most of us on here want to hear. He won’t let anyone try and stop self custody. After the shit show of the last few weeks, this is positive for us in my eyes. Time will tell. But this is a win if you ask me..

Well yeah duh. Would be nice to have people in office who will not order their goons to chase after plebs though. FBI: "FBI OPEN UP!!!!" Pleb: "Hey, I'll have you know, I'm a sovereign individual. I don't need your... FBI: " GUN!!! HE'S GOT A GUN!!!! Pleb: "OMG STOP SHOOTING IM A SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL!" Idk. Me personally I would like to not put up with that

The great thing about Bitcoin self-custody is that I don’t need Trump (or any politician) to support my right to do it.

We do need politician's support. If they block all state controlled, i.e. legally operating, miners and exchanges from self-custody, we are not buying any bitcoin that is left to be mined, i.e. we have only what we already have and exchange only between ourselves. I prefer to be able to buy more bitcoin and buy services and goods from normies, no matter how stupid they are and what form of payment they accept.

At best it’ll buy you four years. And trump would just advance other parts of the NWO tag team agenda. Then the next installed prez would come after Bitcoin. However I think it’s extremely likely that he’ll just forget what he said or he will reluctantly” sign anti-btc legislation during his next turn to play president.
We will also advance much faster rather than gov goons threating people, I want bitcoin to reach greatness.

Bitcoin can work for individuals while under full state attack. But we can also imagine that the incentive structure of bitcoin actually drives states to prefer a more liberal approach towards it.
